"Touch Me When We're Dancing" is a song written by Terry Skinner, J. L. Wallace, and Kenny Bell. Skinner and Wallace headed the Muscle Shoals, Alabama session group Bama, who first recorded this song and released it as a single in 1979. It was later released by The Carpenters in 1981 and by the country music group Alabama in 1986.

Versions

Bama version

The Bama version was the first recorded. Released as a single on Free Flight Records, it entered the "Billboard Hot 100" in 1979, peaking at #86.

The Carpenters' version

The Carpenters' version of "Touch Me When We're Dancing" was released on their "Made in America" album in 1981. It was the last of their singles to reach the Top 40 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 chart, after not having a song appear on that chart for over three years. It was also their fifteenth #1 song on the adult contemporary chart. The B-side, "Because We Are in Love", was played at Karen Carpenter's wedding to Thomas Burris on August 31, 1980.

Alabama version

The Alabama version was released on their 1986 album "The Touch". It went on to become a number one hit on "Billboard's" Hot Country Songs chart later that year, their 20th straight chart-topper in a string that dated back to 1980.
